Best/Worst Guns in halo?

[TheScaryOne]

Best: A tie beetween the pistol and the assualt rifle.
Worst: Needler. Cool concept, but the gun sucks.

[captain nintendo]

AR has gotta in everybodies top 2 ?????? Right ?


But your a maniac if you dont love sitting around hiding while sniping covenent off LOL

Worst gun is the needler. Fires really cool but just sucks when you need that fire power.

low tier:

bottom tier:
needler

The Pistol complements everything well, and works as an up close weapon, middle range weapon, or a poor man's sniper rifle.

Sniper Rifle and Shotgun both dominate somethin fierce at long range and short range, respectively. Shotgun is really good on vehicles.

Rocket Launcher is a powerful weapon, but the slow reload rate and low amounts of ammo hurt it. To say nothing of the speed of the rockets...it's good on vehicles as well, and infantry, but you have to pick your spots with it.

Plasma Pistol's overcharge is awesome. Period. Both it and the rifle gain points for their stun feature-don't bother trying to kill with it. Stun someone with fire, circle round, move in, and melee them to death.

Assault Rifle is useful at point blank range, but thre's better weapon choices. I also like it on vehicles-large vehicles offset it's inaccuracy. It's a great gun when there's no shields, but the fact is, it takes forever to kill someone's shields-like a full friggin clip. It's a situational gun, really.

And the needler is even more situational. It's good if there's a rocket launcher person around the corner, since the needles can home in...but really, that's about all. If you can't get 7 needles in someone, don't bother.

And the vehicles weapons..ghost's plasma guns rock, for the stun, they let you get close enough to run someone down, or to just circle them and kill them dead. the jeep's chain gun is a monster-you can tear damn near anything apart as long as you have someone driving too. And I don't see the need to get into the tank cannon.

I always try to have an assault rifle and a rocket launcher if I can.

As soon as I can I make sure my constant two are the shotgun and the pistol. The pistol is hands down the best gun in the game, in fact, it's too good to consider the game balanced. The shotgun is absolute murder up close. They complement each other well and in my opinion are the best go-to guns in the game.

I like wacking enemy with a pistol

.....games just too easy with a weapon that has bullets in it

[-hellvin-]

The needler fucking blows, contest over.

Now, for the best it is the rocket launcher. Keep in mind though that I never play any other map other than the one with the two warthogs and the two towers you can snipe at with the rocket launcher in the middle. So all I do is drive out there like a little whore, grab the rocket launcher then blow everyone else sky high. Love nailing the warthog when someone is trying to run me over.

I've found different weapons dominate different maps in halo...

Gulch-The rocket launcher and the sni[er rifle utterly own this map, but the respawn on both is forever, so the pistol makes a good backup. The Ghost also dominates if you've got vehicles on, as well as spawn camping with the tank.

sidewinder-Sniper rifle and pistol. Nuff said.

Battle creek-I'm gonna give this to the plasma guns, they respawn fast, and with the layout of the map its easy to get teh drop on someone to stun and melee em.

Hang em high-shotgun and pistol are domination there.

derelict-I'm gonna go with the pistol and the rocket launcher here

boarding action-sniper rifle, rocket launcher, and pistol. A weapon with a scope works wonders there.

prisoner-rocket launchers for lower floors and sniper rifle for higher ones. plasma rifle for anything inbetween

wizard-pistol and plasma rifle work best here.

chill out-the shotgun, the assault rifle, and plasma rifle are great at this stage. Pistol is good to take out rocket launcher whores.

rat race-shotgun and plasma rifle

longest-shotgun and pistol. All you need there.

As for the PC version levels and weapons, I can't comment.

Worst: Assault rifle. Totally pointless weapon all together, does no damage to covenant or flood.

Best: Pistol/Shotgun. I usually tried to have a Shotgun at all times along with a Plasma Rifle, pretty damn fine combo most of the time.
